Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:51:40 -0700 Koushik: 'Lying in the Sun' MP3 http://scottmcdonald.posterous.com/koushik-lying-in-the-sun-mp3 http://scottmcdonald.posterous.com/koushik-lying-in-the-sun-mp3

koushik.jpgCanadian artist Koushik drops the lazy, hazy "Lying in the Sun," the perfect summer cocktail for your hi-fi stereo system ... or iPod.

"Lying in the Sun" blends lightly-pitched singing and psychedelics a la Caribou with downtempo hip-hop beats. Koushik's debut album, Out My Window, will arrive September 30 on Stones Throw.

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:47:23 -0700 Midnight Juggernauts: 'Into the Galaxy' Video http://scottmcdonald.posterous.com/midnight-juggernauts-into-the http://scottmcdonald.posterous.com/midnight-juggernauts-into-the

into galaxy.jpgA new, and second, version of Midnight Juggernauts' latest single "Into the Galaxy" provides greater scenery and  a very cool on-set take of the band playing in lush surroundings. The guy on a dirtbike traveling through the forest is random, but the idea of shooting 'the shoot' works very well.

 It's bizarre to think how long it's been since Dystopia has been out, but "Into the Galaxy" still sounds as euphoric and imaginative as it did a year ago.
